Sea kayaking in Costa Rica's warm tropical waters is a treat for paddlers of all levels. Paddle through biodiverse mangrove forests and under lush rainforest canopies with birds and monkeys calling overhead. Paddle the crystal clear blue waters of the Caribbean, the Pacific, or a flat water tropical river and you may see a green sea turtle or, with a little luck, caimans. Paddle in Cahuita National Park on our Beaches & Rainforest tour. Explore the Pacific's Ballena National Marine Park on our Discover Costa Rica tour, Costa Rica Multisport tour, or paddle in southern Costa Rica's Corcovado National Park and Golfo Dulce.
